Quality Education

The Crisis

The Crisis

India has 440 Million Children. If these children don’t receive quality education, by 2030 we will have the steering
wheel of our nation’s growth in the hands of the largest working population which is
unequipped and ill-prepared.

how bad is the situation?

25

of students in class 8 cannot read a grade 2 level text.

80

of students in class 3 cannot do a 2-digit subtraction.

40

students in class 8 can not do basic division.

India is facing a teachers' shortage of 1 million.

While enrolment in primary schools is over 96%, more than 65% students do not complete class 12th.

1 in 4 children of school-going age is out of school in our country – 99 million children in total have dropped out of school.

The Problem statement

The key problem that Mantra4Change seeks to address is the 'Lack of delivery of Quality Education'
in the under-resourced schools. This is a manifestation of three factors:
Ineffective school environment, Ineffective teaching-learning process and Unsupportive home & community environment.

Our theory of change

Mantra4Change takes a systemic approach to address the issue of poor quality of education in under-resourced schools.
We believe that a strong and conducive school culture promotes effective teaching-learning processes.
These improve the engagement level of students in classrooms, thus leading to improved learning outcomes.
Alignment of purpose and collaboration among multiple stakeholders are critical to the success and
sustainability of change efforts in schools.

that we work together as a team to bring
substantial changes into the current education
system in government schools. They have all my
support related to this effort and I wish them all the
very best.

Passion, enthusiasm, change, teamwork, motivation,
inspiration…. These are the words that come to my mind
when I think about Mantra4Change. And all that they are
is what they try to imbibe in the teachers that they work
with. Mantra4Change has truly brought a change in our
school and the teachers. I want to thank them for being
who they are and doing what they do. Thank you Team

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the workshops by Mantra4Change.
My love for teaching got quadrupled and I have become very confident about my classroom presence.
My students show better engagement and high level of interaction in my class now.
I am very thankful to Mantra4Change team for their continuous and personalized coaching support that they offer.
It has benefited me immensely. They are more than colleagues; they are family.

I have worked with many organizations in the past. But I have never seen any which works like Mantra.
These people are a big support to our school. They engage deeply and empower us to solve our own problems.
After my 2 years of association with Mantra, I see a clear change in the attitude of my teachers and parents;
learning levels have improved. Also, Mantra has helped us connect to many other NGOs for our various requirements.
The power of network and collaboration has been my personal biggest learning from them

Mantra4Change has been doing an amazing work in our school.
They did not only help us develop capacity of existing government teachers, but also helped me create a pool of trained community based teachers.
They have worked extensively on empowering our SDMC and improving our Parents’ engagement. What I love about them is that theirs is not a standardized approach.
They designed their intervention to address the needs of my school.
